So, they can't fix healthcare, but they can pass an extremely unpopular tax plan (that will also raise healthcare costs) and they will have an historically unpopular president come next year's mid-terms.

A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise for to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson.

Lowering tax rates increases revenue because of the addition revenue generated by the money left in the hands of the real economic decision makers - consumers, business people, inventors, entrepreneurs, etc.

right - if you can get more people investing in creating their own business or companies creating more jobs - that will in turn lead to more revenue, more spending, etc

OK, I get the talking points, but when has this worked I the real world, and not just in models?

I'm talking real world, not models.

I get sick and tired of listening to Chuck Schumer lying about tax cuts. He complains endlessly about how it will add to the deficit and how it would jeopardize Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Not once during Obama's eight years did he cOKomplain about massive spending increases, slow growth and higher taxes, which yielded almost $10 trillion in new debt. .In fact, he supported everything. What makes me sicker is that almost all reporters just repeat Schumer's talking points as if they are factual. They repeat the outright lies over and over again, and then after indoctrinating the readers with pure garbage, they take a poll of fewer than 1,000 people, skewed with more Democrats than Republicans, to show that the people aren't in favor of reform. Then they run the poll results as if they are somehow factual news.

I've said frequently that the stock market will go up and dow - it has. Pretty accurate there.

The author is right on because even Frank Burns repeats the media's regurgitated Schumer swill. Really pitiful that our citizenry is so misinformed.

I think there's a common misconception about lowering tax rates and their effect on the economy. First thing to understand is that it ISN'T just some magic action that causes miracles to occur. NOT EVERY rate reduction will have the same effect. For instance if the rate was dropped to 0% obviously revenues wouldn't grow, nor if they were raised to 100% would be see any marked improvement.

The idea is somewhere between 0% and 100% there is an optimal rate that maximizes the revenue. At that point either raising or lowering the rate lowers revenue.

There are historical records going back to Attila the Hun and Alexander the Great that suggest even they noticed that amongst the populations they invaded.
